Finished installing windshield onto fuselage by installing screws from front to back, skipping last bottom screw on each side. Aligned windshield bow with top center screw and installed sandwiching strap in between. Needed to run tap through each screw hole to clean paint out of threads; should have done before installing bow, however. Worked from center of windshield bow down to edges. Once bow was screwed to the windshield, bolted bow to upper fuselage longerons, and installed remaining screws in aft corners of windshield. Installed rivets in upper firewall then in fuselage sides to complete windshield installation.
